This MLB offseason has been one to remember, with many big-time players deciding to join other teams, such as Pete Alonso, Kyle Tucker, and Alex Bregman, and others choosing to remain with their teams from last season, like Kyle Schwarber and Cody Bellinger.
With spring training coming around sooner rather than later, most of the notable players have been signed and off the market, but there are still a few big names out there.

Eugenio Suarez, who spent last season with the Seattle Mariners after being traded from the Arizona Diamondbacks and nearly helped lead the team to the World Series before losing to the Toronto Blue Jays in seven games in the ALDS, is still available.
Suarez is a big bat that can be useful for many teams, considering the slugger ranked in the top five in the league in RBIs with 118 and home runs with 49 to complement a .228 batting average, and when discussing where the third basemen's next move, Mike Lowell heavily advocated for a full season with the Mariners for the 34-year-old.
"I think the most logical landing spot for Eugenio is back in Seattle," Lowell stated.
Lowell explained himself, stating that the Mariners are more aware of his ups and downs: he can be extremely hot at times, capable of putting a team on his back, but also extremely cold when he struggles.
The two-time World Series champion also described Suarez as one of the most durable third basemen in the league, while giving a team 40-50 home runs a year, which makes him an excellent fit for any team.
